Procter & Gamble (PG) stock is being put through a mild wash cycle after a mixed earnings day.

Shares fell 2.5% in early trading as the company reported a muted quarter and outlook amid still high inflation and cautious consumers.

Schulten explained that P&G is seeing divergent trends among consumers, however. Higher-income consumers are continuing to spend on P&G's latest innovations. But lower-income shoppers living paycheck to paycheck remain cautious in how they replenish items and what they take off the shelves.

Those spending trends and an expected $1 billion after-tax hit from raw materials inflation led P&G to issue soft guidance for its new fiscal year.

"Management has warned investors at recent conferences that the U.S. consumer in particular has been more cautious than anticipated," JPMorgan analyst Andrea Teixeira wrote in a note ahead of the results.
